Abstract: A method of anonymous targeted insertion of indicia into video broadcasts. Individual televisions or other video reception devices are associated with set-top boxes that monitor the usage and viewing habits of the television set or other video reception device. A viewer profile derived from data acquired from said monitoring is created wherein the viewer profile indicates certain characteristics about the viewer. This profile is transmitted to a centralized database, said centralized database being an intermediate link between the origin of the video broadcast and the end viewer. The purpose of the database is to link specific insertable indicia with matching specific viewer profiles. The insertable indicia are encoded directly into the broadcast video and re-broadcast to the end viewer where the set-top box decodes the broadcast video and performs insertion of the indicia. Thus, the system and method allow advertisers to target specific ads or indicia to specific viewing profiles.

Abstract: The invention describes a piece of equipment for climbing and/or balance training with adjustably arrangeable climbing grips or with an adhesion-friction coating, which consists of a flat disk on a holding system, and the disk design provides for rotating and/or tipping of the disk. By means of a guide element with rollers and/or grooves, the disk is mounted with the ability to rotate, and the rotation resistance can be varied with an adjustable brake device that is part of a mechanical brake system. In addition, with another free rotational axis, the angle of inclination of the disk can be modified, and/or by releasing the plug-in connections a combined rotating and tipping movement is made possible. Also, the rotating and tipping movements of the disk as well as the adjustments of the brake resistance can be predetermined with a programmable motor control. On the disk are openings that receive the plug-in devices for the climbing grips, the distribution of which is flexible in accordance with user preferences.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method and a device for executing phase compensation in a control system of a motor-driven vehicle, in which the time derivative for an output signal (y) from a circuit (1) contained in the control system is limited relative to the time derivative for an input signal (u) to the circuit (1) if the time derivative for the input signal (u) exceeds a predetermined value. An error signal (epsi) is formed between the output signal (y) and the signal (x) present in the circuit (1), the time derivative of which is not limited in relation to the time derivative for the input signal (u). The error signal (epsi) is filtered via an asymptotically stable filter (3) to form a signal (delta), which is fed back and subtracted from the input signal (u) of the circuit (1) to form the signal (x). A conventional rate limiter may be used to form the output signal (y) from the signal (x).

Abstract: Oil-in-water dispersions of  beta -carotene and other carotenoids that are stable against oxidation, even in the presence of polyphosphates, especially sodium hexametaphosphate. These oil-in-water dispersions are typically prepared by contacting a water-dispersible beadlet comprising at least about 5% colloidal carotenoid with the water phase to form droplets of the carotenoid that are in intimate contact with sufficient oil phase such that the carotenoid is stable against oxidation, even in the absence of an effective antioxidant such as ascorbic acid. The oil-in-water carotenoid dispersions of the present invention are especially useful in dilute juice beverages for providing vitamin A fortification and color, as well as other oil/water food and beverage products where vitamin A fortification and/or color are desired.

Abstract: Methods and associated apparatus within a RAID subsystem having redundant controllers define a private LUN as a data storage area known and accessible to all controllers in the system and used by them for diagnostic purposes. The methods involve sending a diagnostic write command to a first controller with instructions for it to write test data to the private LUN. This first controller writes this test data to the private LUN. A second controller, in response to another diagnostic command, then reads this test data from the private LUN and compares it to expected values provided in the diagnostic command. Using the results, it can then be determined which controller, if any, failed. If the first controller fails, then the second controller takes over ownership of portions of the data storage area assigned to the first controller. The private LUN is preferably striped across all channels used by the controllers to communicate to commonly attached disk drives. This allows the diagnostic process to test disk channel data paths in determining whether a controller has failed. The test data preferably include a data portion and a redundancy portion to enable testing of redundancy computations within the controllers. In an alternate embodiment, a host computer attached via an interface in common with the redundant controllers initiates and controls the diagnostic process to enable testing of the host/controller communication paths. Timed event messages (e.g., watchdog timer features) may be used in conjunction with other methods of the invention to further enhance failure detection.

Abstract: A facade system with a translucent porous insulating material of mineral or organic fibers for passive solar energy utilization is provided. The insulating material has on the outside a colored layer for design purposes and for controlling the light transmittance. The facade system is formed from a multiplicity of preferably factory-prefabricated facade insulating boards. The colored layer can, moreover, be designed in such a way that it protrudes beyond the insulating layer along two board edges. Consequently, when the facade insulating boards are applied to the building wall, the abutting edges in the region of the joins between neighboring insulating boards are covered by the overlapping protruding colored layer.

Abstract: An arrangement for a spreader for hoisting containers includes a beam extendable from a retracted position in a housing to an extended position. An additional beam member is received in an inner end of the extendable beam and is arranged to slide axially with respect to the extendable beam, as well as with respect to the housing. An interlocking device is arranged on the extendable beam and on the additional beam member. The interlocking device transfers an extension motion from the extendable beam to the additional beam member. A device arranged on the additional beam member as well as the housing acts to limit the relative axial motion of the additional beam member with respect to the housing. The additional beam member provides an inner end extension of the extendable beam when the additional beam member is extended to engage the device of the housing.

Abstract: When reconstructing information from a data stream including a plurality of object streams, each object stream having predetermined information, it is necessary to obtain synchronism between a plurality of sets of information in the respective object streams after resuming a reconstruction operation, even if reconstruction of a part of the information is interrupted. For that purpose, each object stream is separated from the data stream. In an operation of reproducing information included in each object stream, when controlling pause and execution of reproduction of one of the plurality of object streams, a timing of control for the one object stream is determined using time information in another object stream. It is thereby possible to perform time management during a pause in decoding. <IMAGE>
